My boyfriend proposed on New Years Eve after we'd finished watching the fireworks in London. Technically, I suppose, it was January 1st 2014, but that was the night. It goes without saying I didn't hesitate to reply "SI!!!" to his important question in Spanish. I couldn't be happier!!!

Woah, woah, hold up. Why did he propose in Spanish?

My groom-to-be is Costa Rican, so we're bringing the two families together on a Caribbean beach (east coast). The reception will follow in his hometown in the style of a HUGE party. We'll be having a UK and Costa Rican reception, so I'm a lucky girl and get to wear the dress three times!

Yesterday was the last time me 'n' he will be together until May as his "tourist" status only allowed him a three month stay here in the UK, so this new writing topic will keep me occupied, if nothing else! What better time to start sharing the story.

Why impinge on your writing blog with wedding news?

It's still writing... writing about our wedding plans!

I shan't be doing a whole new blog about the big day, (I already have this writing themed one and a travel blog, each of which I post to weekly) but I want to document our journey in some way for friends, family, and future kiddies who will hopefully appear someday. I will blog as and when, nothing regular, just when I have something interesting to share with you. I have created a tag on this blog called 'My Wedding', so that's the best place to find posts about our wedding, should you wish to have a nosey look.

I hope you enjoy reading about our journey! If not, don't worry, the regular writing posts will be as regular as usual.
